The Basic Skills of Therapy, According to Us

from Edge of the Couch Hosted by Jordan Pickell and Alison McCleary

We’ve often joked that if we were to start a counselling school, the basic skills training would look very different than the program we completed together. In this episode, we share with you the foundational therapy skills that guide our practice and that we think therapy school should focus on instead-- empathy, presence, comfort, attunement, and accuracy.
